Three Receive Team Honors Unable to put together a consistent team effort, the varsity footijall team struggled through the season, managing only one win against cross - town rival El Monte, 13-2. A miajor highlight for the Vikings was the naming of junior Jacko Romero (line backer), senior Tom Gil (offensive run- ning back), senior Charlie Gil (wide receiver) to the 2nd team All-Mission Valley League. (Charlie also received 2nd team honors last year as defensive cornerback). Tom Gil led the offensive charge as the leading ground gainer, while junior Art Nava paced the defensive unit with the greatest number of tackles. Seven interceptions, a school record, and 22 pass recep- tions enabled Charlie Gil to earn the most valuable player award, while junior Danny Macias was voted most im- proved.

Defensive Strength Helped Then Determination and confi- dence were the trademarks of the sophomore football team as they played to a 2 win-3 loss league record. Lacking a strong offensive line to provide the extra punch, the team showed great defensive strength as they prevented eventual league champions. La Mirada, from penetrating the Viking 25-yardline, only to lose the game on a trick play. At one point the defense did not allow a touchdown for 11 straight quarters. Running back Frank Calderon was named the most valuable player. Winning the first game of the season against Ontario was a positive start for the fresh- men as they beat the Jaguars, 6-0. Against Mira Costa they fought to a draw, 14-14. Al- though unable to win any of the remaining seven games, the players exhibited spirit and determination while on the field. Representative of this attitude was the effort of M. V.P. John Arvizo who gained 425 yards rushing. The de- fensive unit was anchored by the outstanding play of Sergio Ybarra who made 62 tackles.
